All she as to do is sit by the window and watch the snow come down. Someone even cleans off her car and moves it when they need to plow the lot. Snow would be fun if we didn't have to worry about going anywhere or shoveling it. . . ) Are you staying in tonight?

Clearly I need to move to wherever Nana lives.

Yeah, I have no plans to go anywhere. I actually don't mind driving in the snow so long as no one else is on the road or it's not dark. I may or may not really enjoy driving rather recklessly in the snow because I think it's fun to skid all over the road...

Look out kids! Here comes Jodie!!!! (And I think you are probably 40 years too young to move into Nana's building. )

What? I stay home and spend my evenings knitting and crocheting and hanging out with cats! THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW!

**my DH is sitting on the opposite end of the couch from me while I'm posting these, he has no clue...

Is he aware of your new obsession at all?

I tried to be all cool & low-key, but he's on to me I'm thinking he won't put up too much of a fuss w/this one, b/c richard seems like someone he might be friends w/in real life he's come around w/christian bale, tho it's still touch and go w/ewan he despises rob in the DH's defense tho , he actually stole the airplane magazine from his trip for me b/c it had adam levine on the cover

that this moment would last forever,or,if it couldn't,that I would stop existing when it did

Haha. Have you tried to play it off like "Oh.. yeah.. now that you mention it, that IS the same guy from that other show. Huh!" Or "No, I'm just watching random youtube vids... Nothing special... " ?

How can anyone dislike Ewan? Especially guys. He's much more of a man's man than some of these other actors. He did that motorcycle show for goodness sake! Just because he had sex with Christian Bale on a rooftop in that one film...

You know how with Ron you can sort of play google roulette and google something random like 'Robert Pattinson soda' and you'll get a bazillion photos like this:

Mmm... I'm going to tongue this soda...

That doesn't work with Dick. I just keep getting the same photos in a different order. I can only assume it's because he's not as popular as the Pattz and hasn't had his every move photographed and posted online. Or his fans aren't nearly as amusing as we are.

what are you talking about? there are whole tumblrs devoted to Richard drinking things (not soda ) and talking on the phone, and smiling, & probably a bunch of other inane things they're not all that great, mind you, but they are out there sadly both the Richard "from behind" and Richard "hand & arm porn" are no longer maybe I should start one?

I think "younger ewan" always sticks in my DH's mind, back when he was cocky and had some form of naked scene in almost every movie he did he did really like him in the motorcycle show tho, and I'm sure to always mention that he has a slew of kids and is the ambassador for unicef and stuff like that but yeah, the slash movie w/christian probably didn't help either of their cases I remember renting that movie, way back when, and trying to pull off the facade that I didn't know ewan was even in it, just that michael stipe produced it

but as for Richard, at first I was like "that guy who plays Thorin said the most interesting thing in an interview I saw/read" then it was like "I heard this UK spy series is really good...oh look, that guy who plays Thorin is in the later seasons" then one day it was "I'm watching this show on youtube about helicopter medics in the UK, & the grossest thing happened..." to which my DH said "that guy from MI-5 wouldn't happen to be in it, would he?" and I answered "who, the guy who played Thorin?" and the DH said "I know his name is Richard " so, I kinda gave up and now I'm all like "Richard is in this army show we need to watch" and "Richard is in this funny show about a woman vicar, with Barty Crouch!" and "Richard hasn't filmed the last hobbit movie yet but says the battle of the five armies is going to play a huge part"...yeah, I need to stop while I'm a head speaking of which...I told that joke, from the VoD episode , to my kids & my daughter thought it was a real story...I do call her alice sometimes by accident (it's true, & I have no idea why, b/c her name is abby )

I don't really tumbl. I just google. I don't really understand tumblr. Every time I look at it I just feel like I'm looking at Homer Simpson's website.

The jig is up!

You told her the 'ahead' joke and she responded like Alice? That's kind of hilarious.

yes, it can get pretty annoying. I always feel like I have to click on every pic, b/c sometimes other pics are in that post that aren't shown & what if I miss a good one? and if the tumblr is a decent one, then I feel like I must go back to the very first post & work my way forward until my eyes bleed

Since we have been sharing other...um, hotness here in the flat lately, I feel compelled to share my long-time British boyfriend James Purefoy. I fell in love while watching HBO's Rome (he played Marc Antony - swoon) and his new show The Following has caused my love to re-ignite. Gah...love him!

JodieO wrote:Aren't some of you out there who love Andrew Lincoln? Am I making that up?

I quite like him... A few years ago he was in a french film (Comme t'y es belle), he played the role of the cute and younger british love interest of one of the female lead roles ... He has the cutest british accent when he speaks french ..sigh..In this film was also one of the french actors who i find rather "dreamy"

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

DUDE. I'd totally forgotten my love of this guy until I'd noticed him on the list of Oscar presenters

PS. Andrew Lincoln has a cute British accent when he speaks English, too!

JodieO wrote:Aren't some of you out there who love Andrew Lincoln? Am I making that up?

No, you are not making that up. I love A. Lincoln. I am SO EXCITED about Walking Dead coming back tonight (holla, Amy!). I would love to crash in the basement and watch the marathon all day, but alas, I have a manicure and hair appointment later today. This is probably a good thing, as I would languish down there and not get anything else accomplished.
